Celebrate Recovery is a Christ-centered program ministering to anyone who struggles with hurts, hang-ups, habits, or addictions. Celebrate Recovery provides a safe place to share your experiences, strengths, and hopes with others who are going through the same tribulations.
Celebrate Recovery is filled with people who are struggling with addictive, obsessive, and dysfunctional behaviors. Through Celebrate Recovery, we learn how to become free from these difficulties by following Eight Recovery Principles throughout a Twelve-Step Program. Based on Biblical principles, Celebrate Recovery helps participants become willing to accept God’s grace and forgiveness while also forgiving themselves.
Throughout the program, you will discover more about Jesus Christ, our loving and forgiving Savior. We have seen many lives changed by Celebrate Recovery and know that God’s hand is over this ministry.

Eight Recovery Principles
based on the Beatitudes
by Rick Warren
1. Realize I’m not God; I admit that I am powerless to control my tendency to do the wrong thing and my life is unmanageable.
"Blessed are the poor in spirit.” Matthew 5:3
2. Earnestly believe that God exists, that I matter to Him, and that He has the power to help me recover.
”Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.” Matthew 5:4
3. Consciously choose to commit all my life and will to Christ’s care and control.
”Blessed are the meek.“ Matthew 5:5
4. Openly examine and confess my faults to God, to myself and to another person whom I trust.
"Blessed are the pure in heart." Matthew 5:8
5. Voluntarily submit to any and all changes God wants to make in my life.
"Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness." Matthew 5:6
6. Evaluate all my relationships, offer forgiveness to those who have hurt me and make amends for harm I’ve done to others when possible, except when doing so would harm them or others.
"Blessed are the merciful" Matthew 5:7 "Blessed are the peacemakers" Matthew 5:9
7. Reserve a daily time with God for self-examination, Bible reading, and prayer in order to know God and His work for my life and gain the power to follow His will.
"Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness." Matthew 5:6
8. Yield myself to be used by God to bring this good news to others, both by my example and by my words.
“Happy are those who are persecuted because they do what God requires.”
Matthew 5:10
